Cloak needs tweaking for sure

#1

I played a massive amount of games since the new patch hit. I play on PC.

At first I thought “cool, Predator can play stealthy now. This will be good a challenge and up the skill level.”

Then I realised:

Often cant see where the hell Predator is within close proximity and have to rely on projectile tracing to locate his whereabouts. Often resulting in taking damage. He shouldn’t be completely invisible at medium ranges, in my opinion.
Predator chasing is almost pointless (plus the nerf to speed perk) You just cant see him to put up a good chase. Maybe that’s a good thing? For me it’s a style of play that I enjoyed.
Sniper play is heavily nerfed. Which is my main type of play. I find it almost unplayable. I will have to move to rifles and Dutch.

Needs tweaking!

He’s not completely invisible unless standing still

Use your ears

Know where your open to attack

Limit where your open to attack

Predict the best way you would attack yourself

It’s easier to see Pred when you’re standing still

Obviously don’t stand still too long

Just kidding, I always wanted an excuse to say that. But the object of this game for Fireteam is to complete missions and defend yourself against the Predator. I don’t think the idea was ever for people to be chasing him down and killing him. That being said even with the cloak buff you can still follow a blood trail and harass the Pred. Considering there are now anti-cloaking grenades and the UAV scanner, this buff to the cloak was a smart idea. People will just need to adjust the way they play a little like Pred mains have for a while.

Yep. That was my concern when the update dropped. Seems like I may have been right about it being too much.

I agree that a lot of that happens here. But I really do think its warranted here.

Its not that hard as @PsychoBaBas says, no offense to you @PsychoBaBas but i think predator is fine and now is finally a challenge for me as a sniper main, now you need skill to actually trace him with your VIEW and its basically sort of STRATEGIC game cause now u need teamwork to actually win as in… two or three of you need to focus on predator if he is close by and hunting you all, one guy should clear out the place for AI and then do the missions… then once u hurt him a bit then u do the missions before he heals and stuff… basically it all comes down to SKILLS

The cloak is fine, use your ears quit crying, I’m still hunting down predators and killing them and I’m not even that good.

I’m no sniper so I guess I really can’t say anything anyway

I run mercenary and have no problem with tracking the Predator

Does he get the drop on us sometimes yea

Does it cause us to get wiped? Yea

The real issue is not watching each other’s backs

And lack of overall team work IMHO

Same here man, im a sniper main lol, its still easy to deal damage to him and melt him down as long as u keep ur eyes sharp and ears sharp.

Altho i do get downed these times as people now tend to take down snipers first lol…

Yeah literally what @BadBlood is saying lmfao…

Its actually now all pure teamwork play instead of just abusing game mechanics

Crack those domes yo!!

?

I said i was literally dedicating my time to play fireteam only (sniper only)

with assault class

#18

I agree.

Trouble is, I rarely play with pre-constructed team!!!

#19

I always played randoms when i was testing before this patch, and now im testing too… I think main role as a sniper main you need to give info to your team even if they are randoms, you manage.

Keep spotting and firing until u get ur teams attention.

It’s a numbers game

The way it was always intended IMO
